AMCerasoli, SpeedHack is a 72 hour competition. Is starts on Friday and you have to submit your entry Sunday before the competition ends.

Also, you don't have to implement all 50 rules you voted. Only a few rules are randomly selected before the competition starts and those are the ones you have to try and implement. Try spinning the rule-o-matic to see an example.

I suggest you join. Nothing will happen if you can't finish an entry or if you decide to drop the competition.

So, if I use the PNG add-on, I have to include the libpng's source? Or just the headers?

Ugh, no and no.

The text on the intro page just a high level description of how the competition works. "Any additional libraries" doesn't mean the library itself must be present; a reference to the library in a readme file is sufficient.

Libraries, add-ons and public domain code that is self contained (compiled independently from your code) does not need to be included. I am assuming that the code is freely available from a website, and you will need to supply a web address where it can be downloaded. If the website no longer exists (as sites are created and vanish all the time) then you should upload the version that you used onto your own website so that I can compile the code to check it. I have no desire to trawl the internet looking for add-ons as I have enough to do..!

Yea that is the problem man... I would really love to participate in this competition believe me if it had been few weeks ago (yes when I was here talking shit all the time) I would have participated. But just right know I can't... I want another SpeedHack this year!!! .

I know, I just was saying that from those that I saw, I would be able to finish just the 10% of them... Probably not, probably the 60%, but I would have just the Sunday to finish it, because I work Friday and Saturday all day...

But anyway good look to everybody and show what is Allegro able to do in just two days!

Ok I'm all set now. Scrapped over some pieces of code from here and there(stuff that's been on my public repositories for months ) just so I don't have to bother remembering most of the setup for A5 stuff.

Now gimmeh the gamez!

Anybody not participating who wants to team up for some contributions in their spare time? :DIgnore that, nobody likes working. Someone who could help testing a sneak peek before uploading the final entry would be better.

I will try my best to write cross platform code. However I have never compiled or wrote anything in Linux. I will however only be using the allegro 5 libs and addon's so they are cross platform. I wouldn't have bothered writing this but it seems that some of the users on here use Linux

When I can be bothered (Not in a long time), I shall learn how to use Allegro under Ubuntu or summets.

Not long now till the competition starts so good luck to all. I'm looking forward to seeing the rules now

I think that in Allegro if you are doing something Windows specific then you would know it.Other than that - Just remember that unlike in Windows, filenames are case-sensitive, so don't #include <filename.h> a file named Filename.h and you'll probably be fine

(The performance impact of this fix is estimated to be just a couple of percent, but a banana on a football field isn't even that much and yet woe unto the quarterback who steps on it.)

The only thing you should have to worry about if you're only using Allegro is to keep file paths case-sensitive and use slashes ("/") instead of backslashes ("\\"); both of which any sane person would be doing regardless. Otherwise, Allegro takes care of the platform specifics for you.
